This striking wildflower, called the Turk's cap or turban lily, thrives at the highest elevations in the Southern Appalachians. I found this vibrant specimen near Clingman's Dome, the highest point in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Words of Welcome

A few years ago, I decided to create a different venue for my commercial photography by starting this photo blog and have some fun with it! I pull a wide selection of images from my files, and post them for display. Images include contemporary Charleston photography, shots from various travels, landscapes, color abstracts, plus anything else interesting. Images include both digital and film formats. Hope you enjoy and thanks for visiting!

Who is Doug?

Having traveled coast to coast in my early years, I finally settled in Charleston with my wife, Becky, where I've been photographing commercially since 2001, providing colorful Charleston photo stock through my website, www.hueandeye.com.
Some images on my blog are from my film days when I shot Velvia slide film with Nikon and Canon SLR's and an assortment of lenses. In 2009 I switched to digital, and now photograph with a Canon 5D Mk II camera and an EF 24-105mm f/4L lens.
My strengths lie in portraying a sense of light and color. My favorite subjects include landscapes, cityscapes and gardenscapes, though the odd and humorous will catch my eye too.
